COMMERCE BUSINESS DAILY ISSUE OF MAY 26,2000 PSA#26095600 Fishers Lane, Room 13A-19 Rockville, MD 20857 B -- RESOURCE DOCUMENT ON IMPROVING MEDICAL EDUCATION OF FUTURE
PHYSICIANS SOL 240-BHPr-26(0)-KL DUE 071000 POC Kimberly Lewis --
(301)443-4540 The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA)
intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with the Society of
Teachers of Family Medicine (STFM) for the purpose of providing a
resource document that will assist the Division of Medicine and
Dentistry (DMD) in improving the medical education of future physicians
to meet public needs. This is a notice of intent, not a request for
competitive proposals. The major focus of this procurement will be to
engage the leaders of the family medicine education community in a
critical examination of the current medical school family medicine
clerkship curriculum. The decision to award the contract to the Society
of Teachers of Family Medicine is based on the unique capabilities that
STFM is the only medical education organization within the family
medicine community that represents the continuum of medical education,
from medical student education to resident medical education to
education of fellows in family medicine; they represent the broadest
group of educators within the family medicine academia community with
whom the responsibility and accountability rest. STFM has the unique
data base of the educators in family medicine community essential to
the success of this project. No other organization within the community
of family medicine represents this breadth and scope in medical
education. Therefore, the Government has deemed the Society of Teachers
of Family Medicine (STFM) as the only responsible source capable of
providing the required services under this contract. A Justification
for Other Than Full and Open Competition is on file. The contact person
for this acquisition is: Kimberly Lewis, (301)443-4540, Fax:
(301)443-6038, HRSA/OMPS/DGPM/CPOB, Parklawn Building, 5600 Fishers
Lane, Room 13A-19, Rockville, MD 20857. The electronic mailing address
is: kblewis@hrsa.gov. See Note #22. Posted 05/24/00 (W-SN458092).
